Rapé (Hapé) - Sacred Tobacco Snuff

Rapé (Hapé) – Sacred Amazonian snuff made from Nicotiana rustica and medicinal plants. Traditionally used with a kuripé or tepi for grounding, clarity, and spiritual connection.

Rapé (pronounced ha-pé) is a sacred shamanic snuff prepared from finely ground Amazonian tobacco (Nicotiana rustica) blended with aromatic medicinal plants, seeds, and ashes. For centuries, Indigenous tribes of the Amazon have used rapé in ritual, prayer, and healing ceremonies to purify the mind, ground the body, and connect with spirit.

Each blend carries its own unique energy, prepared with deep reverence for tradition. When used with intention, rapé can bring clarity, focus, emotional release, and alignment with the present moment.

🌬 How to Use

Rapé is traditionally applied through the nostrils using a kuripé (for self-administration) or a tepi (when administered by another).

1. Set your intention before application.

2. Place a small amount of rapé into the pipe.

3. Blow firmly into each nostril, one side at a time.

4. Sit quietly and allow the medicine to work, focusing on your breath.

A sharp sensation and purging (tears, mucus, or emotional release) are considered normal parts of the cleansing process.
